Price Waterhouse Chartered Accountants LLP
To, The Board of Directors Onward Technologies Limited 2nd Floor, Sterling Centre, Dr. Annie Besant Road, Opposite Atria Mall, Worli, Mumbai - 400018
- We have reviewed the unaudited Standalone financial results of Onward Technologies Limited (the "Company") for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 and the year to date results for the period April 01, 2021 to September 30, 2021 which are included in the accompanying 'Statement of Standalone Unaudited Financial Results for Quarter ended September 30, 2021', the statement of assets and liabilities as on that date and the statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date (the "Statement"). The Statement has been prepared by the Company pursuant to Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, as amended (the "Listing Regulations, 2015"), which has been initialled by us for identification purposes.
-
- This Statement, which is the responsibility of the Company's Management and approved by the Board of Directors, has been prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles laid down in Indian Accounting Standard 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" ("Ind AS 34"), prescribed under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013, and other accounting principles generally accepted in India. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the Statement based on our review.
- We conducted our review of the Statement in accordance with the Standard on Review Engagements 3. (SRE) 2410 "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity", issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. This Standard requires that we plan and perform the review to obtain moderate assurance as to whether the Statement is free of material misstatement. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
- Based on our review conducted as above, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe $\boldsymbol{4}$ that the Statement has not been prepared in all material respects in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles laid down in the aforesaid Indian Accounting Standard and other accounting principles generally accepted in India and has not disclosed the information required to be disclosed in terms of Regulation 33 of the Listing Regulations, 2015 including the manner in which it is to be disclosed, or that it contains any material misstatement.
- We draw your attention to Note 6 to the statement. The financial results for the quarter ended $\overline{5}$ September 30, 2020 and the year-to-date results for the period April 01, 2020 to September 30, 2020 of the wholly owned subsidiary, Onward eServices Limited, which is merged with the Company with effect from April 01, 2019, were reviewed by another independent firm of chartered accountants under the Act who, vide their report dated October 21, 2020, expressed an unmodified opinion on those financial statements. Our conclusion is not qualified in respect of these matters.

Notes:
The statement has been reviewed by members of the Audit Committee and approved by the Board of Directors at their meeting held on October 22, 2021.
2 This statement has been prepared in accordance with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standard) Rules, 2015 (Ind AS) prescribed under section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 and rules amended from time to time.
The Company has only one operating segment which is Engineering Design and IT services. Accordingly, separate segment information is not required to be disclosed.
4 During the quarter and six months ended September 30, 2021, the Company has issued 130,100 equity shares following the exercise of stock options by certain employe under the ESOP scheme, 2009 and has issued 18,500 equity shares following the exercise of stock options by certain employees under the ESOP scheme, 2019.
5 The Company has taken into consideration the impact of the known internal and external events arising from COVID-19 pandemic while preparing the financial information. As a part of such assessment, the Company has considered the recoverability of outstanding trade receivables, contract assets, impact of lease modifications, accounting for benefits received from governments and future cash flow position upto the date of approval of these financial results. The Company is confident of recoverability of assets as on September 30, 2021. However, the impact assessment of COVID-19 is an ongoing process and it's impact remains uncertain, given the uncertainties associated with its nature and duration. The impact of global health pandemic might be different from that estimated as at the date of approval of these financial results and the Company wil continue to closely monitor any significant impact on the Company's financial position.
6 During the FY 20-21, the National Company Law Tribunal vide Order dated March 25, 2021, had approved a scheme of merger by absorption of Onward eServices Limite (referred as OeSL), a wholly owned subsidiary, with the Company, with an appointed date of January 1, 2020.
Pursuant to the scheme and requirement of Appendix C of Ind AS 103, the Company has recorded all assets, liabilities and reserves pertaining to OeSL at their respective bool values effective from April 1, 2019. All the intercompany transactions have been eliminated.
The figures for the quarter and six months ended September 30, 2020 have also been restated accordingly to incorporate the impact of the Scheme of Arrangement. As a result the net profit after tax for the quarter and six months ended September 30, 2020 is higher by INR 122.69 lakhs and INR 101.41 lakhs, respectively, as against reported earlier.

- The Company had recognised the export incentives amounting to INR 203.82 lakhs under the Service Exports from India Scheme, 2015 (SEIS Scheme) for services exported til March 31, 2020. In the view of uncertainty on account of delay in announcement by government about the specific details to claim such benefits, the Group had recognised provision in the quarter ended June 30, 2021. As per recent notification, management will initiate a process to claim such benefits and reverse the provision to the extent of eligible claim, on completion of filing.
- 8 The Code on Social Security, 2020 ('Code'), pertaining to employee benefits during employment and post-employment, received Presidential assent in September 2020. The ministry of Labour and employment has released draft rules for the code on Social security, 2020 on November 13, 2020. The new code may impact the existing employer benefit obligations of the Company. The Company will assess the impact and recognise it in its financial statements in the period in which the Code becomes effective and the related rules are notified.
- 9 The Company had entered into an agreement on May 27, 2021 to make preferential allotment to Infinity Direct Holdings (the "investor"). As per the agreement, the Company during the quarter ended June 30, 2021, had issued 1,100,000 equity shares each fully paid-up at a price of INR 130 (inclusive of face value of INR 10 each) per share for cas and 4,300,000 share warrants, each warrant convertible into one equity share of the Company, at a price per warrant of INR 130 (inclusive of face value of INR 10 each) convertible within 18 months from the date of allotment of such warrants. The Company received an approval from the shareholders in extra ordinary general meeting for such preferential allotment. Accordingly the company had issued the equity shares to investor and 25% amount received against warrant issue is accounted as application money received pending for allotment. All the incidental expenses net of tax related to this preferential allotment amounting to INR 156.10 lakhs had been adjusted against other equity.
- 10 During the previous year, the Company had reduced the salaries of their employees to manage the cashflows effectively in the view of COVID-19 outbreak. To compensate such deductions and in the view of performance of the current period, the Company had made a provision of one time incentive for the employees amounting to INR 230.66 lakhs during the quarter ended June 30, 2021.
- 11 The Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) through a notification dated March 24, 2021, amended Schedule III of the Companies Act, 2013, applicable for financial periods commencing from April 1, 2021. Pursuant to such amendments, security deposits INR 226.90 lakhs as at March 31, 2021 have been reclassified from 'Loans' to 'Other financial assets' and current maturities of long term debts INR 8.89 lakhs as at March 31, 2021 have been reclassified from 'Other financial liabilities' to 'Current borrowings'.

To. The Board of Directors Onward Technologies Limited 2nd Floor, Sterling Centre, Dr. Annie Besant Road, Opposite Atria Mall, Worli, Mumbai - 400018
- We have reviewed the unaudited consolidated financial results of Onward Technologies Limited (the "Parent") and its subsidiaries (the parent and its subsidiaries hereinafter referred to as the "Group"). (refer Note 2 of the Statement) for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 and the year to date results for the period April 01, 2021 to September 30, 2021 which are included in the accompanying "Statement" of Consolidated Unaudited Financial Results for Quarter ended September 30, 2021", the unaudited consolidated statement of assets and liabilities as on that date and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date (the "Statement"). The Statement is being submitted by the Parent pursuant to the requirement of Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, as amended (the "Listing Regulations"), which has been initialled by us for identification purposes.
-
- This Statement, which is the responsibility of the Parent's Management and has been approved by the Parent's Board of Directors, has been prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles laid down in Indian Accounting Standard 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" ("Ind AS 34"), prescribed under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013, and other accounting principles generally accepted in India. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the Statement based on our review.
- We conducted our review of the Statement in accordance with the Standard on Review Engagements $\mathbf{R}$ (SRE) 2410 "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity", issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. This Standard requires that we plan and perform the review to obtain moderate assurance as to whether the Statement is free of material misstatement. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion. We also performed procedures in accordance with the circular issued by the SEBI under Regulation 33 (8) of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, as amended, to the extent applicable.
